Verdict

ZEUS POWER ran a cracker in faring best of those held up in the Baring Bingham at the Cheltenham Festival and, with the longer trip likely to be within range, he looks well worth siding with to come out on top. Johnny's Jury showed stamina in abundance to prevail in the Spa and remains unexposed as a stayer, while No Drama This End retains obvious potential having had little go right at the aforementioned meeting.

  1. ZEUS POWER (GER)
  2. JOHNNY'S JURY (IRE)
  3. NO DRAMA THIS END (IRE)
